Managing Employee Burnout: How to Develop A Happy, Healthy and Engaged Workforce

by Shauna Moran

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion. In the workforce, it leads to higher levels of stress, greater sickness absence, sluggish productivity and increased staff turnover so addressing this is urgent.

Managing Employee Burnout covers everything from what burnout is, what causes it and what different forms it can take. It also explores the role of the organization in employee burnout and includes specific guidance on how to manage burnout in remote and hybrid working environments and why dispersed teams may be more susceptible to burnout.

Full of actionable advice and real world examples, this book demonstrates what strategies to put in place to safeguard staff retention and productivity from burnout as well as how to promote awareness and emotional intelligence in the business. This book also explains why effective company culture, communication, leadership and an inclusive talent strategy are key to building a healthy, engaged and sustainable workforce. There is also coverage of how to improve employees' mental health and discussion of the importance of taking a break and how to establish healthy boundaries. Managing Employee Burnout is crucial reading for all HR professionals and all those responsible for talent management who are looking to ensure a healthy, happy and productive workforce.

Managing Employee Burnout by Shauna Moran is an invaluable resource for anyone in charge of a team of employees. There is a particular focus on remote working which adds to the relevance of the information contained in the book, but many of the same tools and skills can also be useful in the standard workplace. The author is very forthcoming about her own experiences with burnout , and that adds a human and relatable note to the advice that I found particularly appealing, The author broadly focuses on three areas, the self, the organisation and the leader and within these categories looks at how to recognise signs of burnout, how to support those who may be experiencing burnout and how to optimise the working environment and the organisation to reduce the risk of employees becoming burnt out. The use of real world examples and the inclusion of exercises to encourage the reader to think about their own organisation helps to demonstrate how the ideas and principles discussed in the book can be applied to their specific organisation,
I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.

Love the level of detail on the whys and hows of dealing with burnout. And the fact that it addresses the issue holistically at 3 levels (individuals, organizations, leadership), to address the systemic nature of the problem.

It’s missing a star for me because there’s some amount of repetition + in several parts, it feels like there are a lot of loose points, making it hard at times to connect the dots and have a mental framework of the ideas.

Covers a range of strategies from self-awareness, emotional intelligence, remote work practices, work culture, remote team processes, etc.

Good book for leaders for remote/hybrid teams and people who are feeling exhausted/stressed with work, esp. remote work.

Buku ini sebenarnya lebih banyak untuk para pekerja online alias work from home.
Tapi saya dapat banyak ilmu dan manfaat juga yang bisa dimanfaatkan para pekerja kantoran kayak saya gini.

Anyway, buku ini membantu saya. Makasih author-niiiimm…
